## Detailed Description

This class represents an OpenGIS Spatial Reference System, and contains methods for converting between this object organization and well known text (WKT) format.

This object is reference counted as one instance of the object is normally shared between many OGRGeometry objects.

Normally application code can fetch needed parameter values for this SRS using GetAttrValue(), but in special cases the underlying parse tree (or OGR_SRSNode objects) can be accessed more directly.

See the tutorial for more information on how to use this class.

Consult also the OGC WKT Coordinate System Issues page for implementation details of WKT in OGR.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OGRSpatialReference::OGRSpatialReference | ( | const OGRSpatialReference & | oOther | ) |

Simple copy constructor.

See also Clone().

Parameters

  oOther | other spatial reference

OGRSpatialReference::OGRSpatialReference | ( | const char * | pszWKT = `nullptr` | ) |
| explicit

Constructor.

This constructor takes an optional string argument which if passed should be a WKT representation of an SRS. Passing this is equivalent to not passing it, and then calling importFromWkt() with the WKT string.

Note that newly created objects are given a reference count of one.

The C function OSRNewSpatialReference() does the same thing as this constructor.

Parameters

  pszWKT | well known text definition to which the object should be initialized, or NULL (the default).

OGRSpatialReference::~OGRSpatialReference | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

OGRSpatialReference destructor.

The C function OSRDestroySpatialReference() does the same thing as this method. Preferred C++ method : OGRSpatialReference::DestroySpatialReference()

Deprecated:

## Member Function Documentation

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::AutoIdentifyEPSG | ( |  | ) |

Set EPSG authority info if possible.

This method inspects a WKT definition, and adds EPSG authority nodes where an aspect of the coordinate system can be easily and safely corresponded with an EPSG identifier. In practice, this method will evolve over time. In theory it can add authority nodes for any object (i.e. spheroid, datum, GEOGCS, units, and PROJCS) that could have an authority node. Mostly this is useful to inserting appropriate PROJCS codes for common formulations (like UTM n WGS84).

If it success the OGRSpatialReference is updated in place, and the method return OGRERR_NONE. If the method fails to identify the general coordinate system OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_SRS is returned but no error message is posted via CPLError().

This method is the same as the C function OSRAutoIdentifyEPSG().

Since GDAL 2.3, the FindMatches() method can also be used for improved matching by researching the EPSG catalog.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE or OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_SRS.

void OGRSpatialReference::Clear | ( |  | ) |

Wipe current definition.

Returns OGRSpatialReference to a state with no definition, as it exists when first created. It does not affect reference counts.

OGRSpatialReference * OGRSpatialReference::Clone | ( |  | ) | const

Make a duplicate of this OGRSpatialReference.

This method is the same as the C function OSRClone().

Returns
  a new SRS, which becomes the responsibility of the caller.

OGRSpatialReference * OGRSpatialReference::CloneGeogCS | ( |  | ) | const

Make a duplicate of the GEOGCS node of this OGRSpatialReference object.

Returns
  a new SRS, which becomes the responsibility of the caller.

OGRSpatialReference * OGRSpatialReference::convertToOtherProjection | ( | const char * | pszTargetProjection,
|  | const char *const * | papszOptions = `nullptr`
| ) |  | const

Convert to another equivalent projection.

Currently implemented:

- SRS_PT_MERCATOR_1SP to SRS_PT_MERCATOR_2SP
- SRS_PT_MERCATOR_2SP to SRS_PT_MERCATOR_1SP
- SRS_PT_LAMBERT_CONFORMAL_CONIC_1SP to SRS_PT_LAMBERT_CONFORMAL_CONIC_2SP
- SRS_PT_LAMBERT_CONFORMAL_CONIC_2SP to SRS_PT_LAMBERT_CONFORMAL_CONIC_1SP

Parameters

  pszTargetProjection | target projection.
  papszOptions | lists of options. None supported currently.

Returns
  a new SRS, or NULL in case of error.

Since
  GDAL 2.3

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::CopyGeogCSFrom | ( | const OGRSpatialReference * | poSrcSRS | ) |

Copy GEOGCS from another OGRSpatialReference.

The GEOGCS information is copied into this OGRSpatialReference from another. If this object has a PROJCS root already, the GEOGCS is installed within it, otherwise it is installed as the root.

Parameters

  poSrcSRS | the spatial reference to copy the GEOGCS information from.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code.

int OGRSpatialReference::Dereference | ( |  | ) |

Decrements the reference count by one.

The method does the same thing as the C function OSRDereference().

Returns
  the updated reference count.

void OGRSpatialReference::DestroySpatialReference | ( | OGRSpatialReference * | poSRS | ) |
| static

OGRSpatialReference destructor.

This static method will destroy a OGRSpatialReference. It is equivalent to calling delete on the object, but it ensures that the deallocation is properly executed within the OGR libraries heap on platforms where this can matter (win32).

This function is the same as OSRDestroySpatialReference()

Parameters

  poSRS | the object to delete

Since
  GDAL 1.7.0

int OGRSpatialReference::EPSGTreatsAsLatLong | ( |  | ) |

This method returns TRUE if EPSG feels this geographic coordinate system should be treated as having lat/long coordinate ordering.

Currently this returns TRUE for all geographic coordinate systems with an EPSG code set, and AXIS values set defining it as lat, long. Note that coordinate systems with an EPSG code and no axis settings will be assumed to not be lat/long.

FALSE will be returned for all coordinate systems that are not geographic, or that do not have an EPSG code set.

This method is the same as the C function OSREPSGTreatsAsLatLong().

Returns
  TRUE or FALSE.

int OGRSpatialReference::EPSGTreatsAsNorthingEasting | ( |  | ) |

This method returns TRUE if EPSG feels this projected coordinate system should be treated as having northing/easting coordinate ordering.

Currently this returns TRUE for all projected coordinate systems with an EPSG code set, and AXIS values set defining it as northing, easting.

FALSE will be returned for all coordinate systems that are not projected, or that do not have an EPSG code set.

This method is the same as the C function EPSGTreatsAsNorthingEasting().

Returns
  TRUE or FALSE.

Since
  OGR 1.10.0

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::exportToERM | ( | char * | pszProj,
|  | char * | pszDatum,
|  | char * | pszUnits
| ) |  |

Convert coordinate system to ERMapper format.

Parameters

  pszProj | 32 character buffer to receive projection name.
  pszDatum | 32 character buffer to receive datum name.
  pszUnits | 32 character buffer to receive units name.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success, OGRERR_SRS_UNSUPPORTED if not translation is found, or OGRERR_FAILURE on other failures.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::exportToMICoordSys | ( | char ** | ppszResult | ) | const

Export coordinate system in Mapinfo style CoordSys format.

Note that the returned WKT string should be freed with CPLFree() when no longer needed. It is the responsibility of the caller.

This method is the same as the C function OSRExportToMICoordSys().

Parameters

  ppszResult | pointer to which dynamically allocated Mapinfo CoordSys definition will be assigned.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success, OGRERR_FAILURE on failure, OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION if MITAB library was not linked in.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::exportToPanorama | ( | long * | piProjSys,
|  | long * | piDatum,
|  | long * | piEllips,
|  | long * | piZone,
|  | double * | padfPrjParams
| ) |  | const

Export coordinate system in "Panorama" GIS projection definition.

This method is the equivalent of the C function OSRExportToPanorama().

Parameters

  piDatum | Pointer to variable, where the coordinate system code will be returned.
  piEllips | Pointer to variable, where the spheroid code will be returned.
  piZone | Pointer to variable, where the zone for UTM projection system will be returned.
  padfPrjParams | an existing 7 double buffer into which the projection parameters will be placed. See importFromPanorama() for the list of parameters.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code on failure.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::exportToPCI | ( | char ** | ppszProj,
|  | char ** | ppszUnits,
|  | double ** | ppadfPrjParams
| ) |  | const

Export coordinate system in PCI projection definition.

Converts the loaded coordinate reference system into PCI projection definition to the extent possible. The strings returned in ppszProj, ppszUnits and ppadfPrjParams array should be deallocated by the caller with CPLFree() when no longer needed.

LOCAL_CS coordinate systems are not translatable. An empty string will be returned along with OGRERR_NONE.

This method is the equivalent of the C function OSRExportToPCI().

Parameters

  ppszProj | pointer to which dynamically allocated PCI projection definition will be assigned.
  ppszUnits | pointer to which dynamically allocated units definition will be assigned.
  ppadfPrjParams | pointer to which dynamically allocated array of 17 projection parameters will be assigned. See importFromPCI() for the list of parameters.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code on failure.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::exportToPrettyWkt | ( | char ** | ppszResult,
|  | int | bSimplify = `FALSE`
| ) |  | const

Convert this SRS into a nicely formatted WKT string for display to a person.

Consult also the OGC WKT Coordinate System Issues page for implementation details of WKT in OGR.

Note that the returned WKT string should be freed with CPLFree() when no longer needed. It is the responsibility of the caller.

This method is the same as the C function OSRExportToPrettyWkt().

Parameters

  ppszResult | the resulting string is returned in this pointer.
  bSimplify | TRUE if the AXIS, AUTHORITY and EXTENSION nodes should be stripped off.

Returns
  currently OGRERR_NONE is always returned, but the future it is possible error conditions will develop.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::exportToProj4 | ( | char ** | ppszProj4 | ) | const

Export coordinate system in PROJ.4 format.

Converts the loaded coordinate reference system into PROJ.4 format to the extent possible. The string returned in ppszProj4 should be deallocated by the caller with CPLFree() when no longer needed.

LOCAL_CS coordinate systems are not translatable. An empty string will be returned along with OGRERR_NONE.

Special processing for Transverse Mercator with GDAL >= 1.10 and PROJ >= 4.8 : If the OSR_USE_ETMERC configuration option is set to YES, the PROJ.4 definition built from the SRS will use the 'etmerc' projection method, rather than the default 'tmerc'. This will give better accuracy (at the expense of computational speed) when reprojection occurs near the edges of the validity area for the projection. Starting with GDAL >= 2.2, setting OSR_USE_ETMERC to NO will expand to the 'tmerc' projection method (useful with PROJ >= 4.9.3, where utm uses etmerc)

This method is the equivalent of the C function OSRExportToProj4().

Parameters

  ppszProj4 | pointer to which dynamically allocated PROJ.4 definition will be assigned.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code on failure.

OGRSpatialReferenceH * OGRSpatialReference::FindMatches | ( | char ** | papszOptions,
|  | int * | pnEntries,
|  | int ** | ppanMatchConfidence
| ) |  | const

Try to identify a match between the passed SRS and a related SRS in a catalog (currently EPSG only)

Matching may be partial, or may fail. Returned entries will be sorted by decreasing match confidence (first entry has the highest match confidence).

The exact way matching is done may change in future versions.

The current algorithm is:

- try first AutoIdentifyEPSG(). If it succeeds, return the corresponding SRS
- otherwise iterate over all SRS from the EPSG catalog (as found in GDAL pcs.csv and gcs.csv files+esri_extra.wkt), and find those that match the input SRS using the IsSame() function (ignoring TOWGS84 clauses)
- if there is a single match using IsSame() or one of the matches has the same SRS name, return it with 100% confidence
- if a SRS has the same SRS name, but does not pass the IsSame() criteria, return it with 50% confidence.
- otherwise return all candidate SRS that pass the IsSame() criteria with a 90% confidence.

A pre-built SRS cache in ~/.gdal/X.Y/srs_cache will be used if existing, otherwise it will be built at the first run of this function.

This method is the same as OSRFindMatches().

Parameters

  papszOptions | NULL terminated list of options or NULL
  pnEntries | Output parameter. Number of values in the returned array.
  ppanMatchConfidence | Output parameter (or NULL). *ppanMatchConfidence will be allocated to an array of *pnEntries whose values between 0 and 100 indicate the confidence in the match. 100 is the highest confidence level. The array must be freed with CPLFree().

Returns
  an array of SRS that match the passed SRS, or NULL. Must be freed with OSRFreeSRSArray()

Since
  GDAL 2.3

Returns
  the child index of the named projection parameter. -1 on failure

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::Fixup | ( |  | ) |

Fixup as needed.

Some mechanisms to create WKT using OGRSpatialReference, and some imported WKT, are not valid according to the OGC CT specification. This method attempts to fill in any missing defaults that are required, and fixup ordering problems (using OSRFixupOrdering()) so that the resulting WKT is valid.

This method should be expected to evolve over time to as problems are discovered. The following are among the fixup actions this method will take:

- Fixup the ordering of nodes to match the BNF WKT ordering, using the FixupOrdering() method.
- Add missing linear or angular units nodes.

This method is the same as the C function OSRFixup().

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code if something goes wrong.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::FixupOrdering | ( |  | ) |

Correct parameter ordering to match CT Specification.

Some mechanisms to create WKT using OGRSpatialReference, and some imported WKT fail to maintain the order of parameters required according to the BNF definitions in the OpenGIS SF-SQL and CT Specifications. This method attempts to massage things back into the required order.

This method is the same as the C function OSRFixupOrdering().

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code if something goes wrong.

double OGRSpatialReference::GetAngularUnits | ( | char ** | ppszName = `nullptr` | ) | const

Fetch angular geographic coordinate system units.

If no units are available, a value of "degree" and SRS_UA_DEGREE_CONV will be assumed. This method only checks directly under the GEOGCS node for units.

This method does the same thing as the C function OSRGetAngularUnits().

Parameters

  ppszName | a pointer to be updated with the pointer to the units name. The returned value remains internal to the OGRSpatialReference and should not be freed, or modified. It may be invalidated on the next OGRSpatialReference call.

Returns
  the value to multiply by angular distances to transform them to radians.

OGR_SRSNode * OGRSpatialReference::GetAttrNode | ( | const char * | pszNodePath | ) |

Find named node in tree.

This method does a pre-order traversal of the node tree searching for a node with this exact value (case insensitive), and returns it. Leaf nodes are not considered, under the assumption that they are just attribute value nodes.

If a node appears more than once in the tree (such as UNIT for instance), the first encountered will be returned. Use GetNode() on a subtree to be more specific.

Parameters

  pszNodePath | the name of the node to search for. May contain multiple components such as "GEOGCS|UNIT".

const OGR_SRSNode * OGRSpatialReference::GetAttrNode | ( | const char * | pszNodePath | ) | const

Find named node in tree.

This method does a pre-order traversal of the node tree searching for a node with this exact value (case insensitive), and returns it. Leaf nodes are not considered, under the assumption that they are just attribute value nodes.

If a node appears more than once in the tree (such as UNIT for instance), the first encountered will be returned. Use GetNode() on a subtree to be more specific.

Parameters

  pszNodePath | the name of the node to search for. May contain multiple components such as "GEOGCS|UNIT".

Get the authority code for a node.

This method is used to query an AUTHORITY[] node from within the WKT tree, and fetch the code value.

While in theory values may be non-numeric, for the EPSG authority all code values should be integral.

This method is the same as the C function OSRGetAuthorityCode().

Parameters

  pszTargetKey | the partial or complete path to the node to get an authority from. i.e. "PROJCS", "GEOGCS", "GEOGCS|UNIT" or NULL to search for an authority node on the root element.

| ) |  | const

Fetch the orientation of one axis.

Fetches the request axis (iAxis - zero based) from the indicated portion of the coordinate system (pszTargetKey) which should be either "GEOGCS" or "PROJCS".

No CPLError is issued on routine failures (such as not finding the AXIS).

This method is equivalent to the C function OSRGetAxis().

Parameters

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromCRSURL | ( | const char * | pszURL | ) |

Initialize from OGC URL.

Initializes this spatial reference from a coordinate system defined by an OGC URL prefixed with "http://opengis.net/def/crs" per best practice paper 11-135. Currently EPSG and OGC authority values are supported, including OGC auto codes, but not including CRS1 or CRS88 (NAVD88).

This method is also supported through SetFromUserInput() which can normally be used for URLs.

Parameters

  pszURL | the URL string.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromDict | ( | const char * | pszDictFile,
|  | const char * | pszCode
| ) |  |

Read SRS from WKT dictionary.

This method will attempt to find the indicated coordinate system identity in the indicated dictionary file. If found, the WKT representation is imported and used to initialize this OGRSpatialReference.

More complete information on the format of the dictionary files can be found in the epsg.wkt file in the GDAL data tree. The dictionary files are searched for in the "GDAL" domain using CPLFindFile(). Normally this results in searching /usr/local/share/gdal or somewhere similar.

This method is the same as the C function OSRImportFromDict().

Parameters

  pszDictFile | the name of the dictionary file to load.
  pszCode | the code to lookup in the dictionary.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success, or OGRERR_SRS_UNSUPPORTED if the code isn't found, and OGRERR_SRS_FAILURE if something more dramatic goes wrong.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromEPSG | ( | int | nCode | ) |

Initialize SRS based on EPSG GCS or PCS code.

This method will initialize the spatial reference based on the passed in EPSG GCS or PCS code. The coordinate system definitions are normally read from the EPSG derived support files such as pcs.csv, gcs.csv, pcs.override.csv, gcs.override.csv and falling back to search for a PROJ.4 epsg init file or a definition in epsg.wkt.

These support files are normally searched for in /usr/local/share/gdal or in the directory identified by the GDAL_DATA configuration option. See CPLFindFile() for details.

This method is relatively expensive, and generally involves quite a bit of text file scanning. Reasonable efforts should be made to avoid calling it many times for the same coordinate system.

This method is similar to importFromEPSGA() except that EPSG preferred axis ordering will not be applied for geographic coordinate systems. EPSG normally defines geographic coordinate systems to use lat/long contrary to typical GIS use). Since OGR 1.10.0, EPSG preferred axis ordering will also not be applied for projected coordinate systems that use northing/easting order.

This method is the same as the C function OSRImportFromEPSG().

Parameters

  nCode | a GCS or PCS code from the horizontal coordinate system table.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success, or an error code on failure.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromEPSGA | ( | int | nCode | ) |

Initialize SRS based on EPSG GCS or PCS code.

This method will initialize the spatial reference based on the passed in EPSG GCS or PCS code.

This method is similar to importFromEPSG() except that EPSG preferred axis ordering will be applied for geographic and projected coordinate systems. EPSG normally defines geographic coordinate systems to use lat/long, and also there are also a few projected coordinate systems that use northing/easting order contrary to typical GIS use). See OGRSpatialReference::importFromEPSG() for more details on operation of this method.

This method is the same as the C function OSRImportFromEPSGA().

Parameters

  nCode | a GCS or PCS code from the horizontal coordinate system table.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success, or an error code on failure.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromERM | ( | const char * | pszProj,
|  | const char * | pszDatum,
|  | const char * | pszUnits
| ) |  |

Create OGR WKT from ERMapper projection definitions.

Generates an OGRSpatialReference definition from an ERMapper datum and projection name. Based on the ecw_cs.wkt dictionary file from gdal/data.

Parameters

  pszProj | the projection name, such as "NUTM11" or "GEOGRAPHIC".
  pszDatum | the datum name, such as "NAD83".
  pszUnits | the linear units "FEET" or "METERS".

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_SRS if not found.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromESRI | ( | char ** | papszPrj | ) |

Import coordinate system from ESRI .prj format(s).

This function will read the text loaded from an ESRI .prj file, and translate it into an OGRSpatialReference definition. This should support many (but by no means all) old style (Arc/Info 7.x) .prj files, as well as the newer pseudo-OGC WKT .prj files. Note that new style .prj files are in OGC WKT format, but require some manipulation to correct datum names, and units on some projection parameters. This is addressed within importFromESRI() by an automatic call to morphFromESRI().

Currently only GEOGRAPHIC, UTM, STATEPLANE, GREATBRITIAN_GRID, ALBERS, EQUIDISTANT_CONIC, TRANSVERSE (mercator), POLAR, MERCATOR and POLYCONIC projections are supported from old style files.

At this time there is no equivalent exportToESRI() method. Writing old style .prj files is not supported by OGRSpatialReference. However the morphToESRI() and exportToWkt() methods can be used to generate output suitable to write to new style (Arc 8) .prj files.

This function is the equivalent of the C function OSRImportFromESRI().

Parameters

  papszPrj | NULL terminated list of strings containing the definition.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code in case of failure.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromMICoordSys | ( | const char * | pszCoordSys | ) |

Import Mapinfo style CoordSys definition.

The OGRSpatialReference is initialized from the passed Mapinfo style CoordSys definition string.

This method is the equivalent of the C function OSRImportFromMICoordSys().

Parameters

  pszCoordSys | Mapinfo style CoordSys definition string.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success, OGRERR_FAILURE on failure, OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION if MITAB library was not linked in.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromOzi | ( | const char *const * | papszLines | ) |

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromPCI | ( | const char * | pszProj,
|  | const char * | pszUnits = `nullptr`,
|  | double * | padfPrjParams = `nullptr`
| ) |  |

Import coordinate system from PCI projection definition.

PCI software uses 16-character string to specify coordinate system and datum/ellipsoid. You should supply at least this string to the importFromPCI() function.

This function is the equivalent of the C function OSRImportFromPCI().

Parameters

  pszProj | NULL terminated string containing the definition. Looks like "pppppppppppp Ennn" or "pppppppppppp Dnnn", where "pppppppppppp" is a projection code, "Ennn" is an ellipsoid code, "Dnnn" — a datum code.
  pszUnits | Grid units code ("DEGREE" or "METRE"). If NULL "METRE" will be used.
  padfPrjParams | Array of 17 coordinate system parameters:

[0] Spheroid semi major axis [1] Spheroid semi minor axis [2] Reference Longitude [3] Reference Latitude [4] First Standard Parallel [5] Second Standard Parallel [6] False Easting [7] False Northing [8] Scale Factor [9] Height above sphere surface [10] Longitude of 1st point on center line [11] Latitude of 1st point on center line [12] Longitude of 2nd point on center line [13] Latitude of 2nd point on center line [14] Azimuth east of north for center line [15] Landsat satellite number [16] Landsat path number

Particular projection uses different parameters, unused ones may be set to zero. If NULL is supplied instead of an array pointer, default values will be used (i.e., zeroes).

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code in case of failure.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromProj4 | ( | const char * | pszProj4 | ) |

Import PROJ.4 coordinate string.

The OGRSpatialReference is initialized from the passed PROJ.4 style coordinate system string. In addition to many +proj formulations which have OGC equivalents, it is also possible to import "+init=epsg:n" style definitions. These are passed to importFromEPSG(). Other init strings (such as the state plane zones) are not currently supported.

Example: pszProj4 = "+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=WGS84"

Some parameters, such as grids, recognized by PROJ.4 may not be well understood and translated into the OGRSpatialReference model. It is possible to add the +wktext parameter which is a special keyword that OGR recognized as meaning "embed the entire PROJ.4 string in the WKT and use it literally when converting back to PROJ.4 format".

For example: "+proj=nzmg +lat_0=-41 +lon_0=173 +x_0=2510000 +y_0=6023150 +ellps=intl +units=m +nadgrids=nzgd2kgrid0005.gsb +wktext"

will be translated as :

GEOGCS["International 1909 (Hayford)",
DATUM["unknown",
SPHEROID["intl",6378388,297]],

+y_0=6023150 +ellps=intl +units=m +nadgrids=nzgd2kgrid0005.gsb +wktext"]]

Special processing for 'etmerc' (GDAL >= 1.10 ): if +proj=etmerc is found in the passed string, the SRS built will use the WKT representation for a standard Transverse Mercator, but will aso include a PROJ4 EXTENSION node to preserve the etmerc projection method.

For example: "+proj=etmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=9 +k=0.9996 +units=m +x_0=500000 +datum=WGS84"

will be translated as :

This method is the equivalent of the C function OSRImportFromProj4().

Parameters

  pszProj4 | the PROJ.4 style string.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or OGRERR_CORRUPT_DATA on failure.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromUrl | ( | const char * | pszUrl | ) |

Set spatial reference from a URL.

This method will download the spatial reference at a given URL and feed it into SetFromUserInput for you.

This method does the same thing as the OSRImportFromUrl() function.

Parameters

  pszUrl | text definition to try to deduce SRS from.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success, or an error code with the curl error message if it is unable to dowload data.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromURN | ( | const char * | pszURN | ) |

Initialize from OGC URN.

Initializes this spatial reference from a coordinate system defined by an OGC URN prefixed with "urn:ogc:def:crs:" per recommendation paper 06-023r1. Currently EPSG and OGC authority values are supported, including OGC auto codes, but not including CRS1 or CRS88 (NAVD88).

This method is also support through SetFromUserInput() which can normally be used for URNs.

Parameters

  pszURN | the urn string.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromUSGS | ( | long | iProjSys,
|  | long | iZone,
|  | double * | padfPrjParams,
|  | long | iDatum,
|  | int | nUSGSAngleFormat = `USGS_ANGLE_PACKEDDMS`
| ) |  |

Import coordinate system from USGS projection definition.

This method will import projection definition in style, used by USGS GCTP software. GCTP operates on angles in packed DMS format (see CPLDecToPackedDMS() function for details), so all angle values (latitudes, longitudes, azimuths, etc.) specified in the padfPrjParams array should be in the packed DMS format, unless bAnglesInPackedDMSFormat is set to FALSE.

This function is the equivalent of the C function OSRImportFromUSGS(). Note that the bAnglesInPackedDMSFormat parameter is only present in the C++ method. The C function assumes bAnglesInPackedFormat = TRUE.

Parameters

  iProjSys | Input projection system code, used in GCTP.
  iZone | Input zone for UTM and State Plane projection systems. For Southern Hemisphere UTM use a negative zone code. iZone ignored for all other projections.
  padfPrjParams | Array of 15 coordinate system parameters. These parameters differs for different projections.

Parameters

  iDatum | Input spheroid.

If the datum code is negative, the first two values in the parameter array (parm) are used to define the values as follows:

- If padfPrjParams[0] is a non-zero value and padfPrjParams[1] is greater than one, the semimajor axis is set to padfPrjParams[0] and the semiminor axis is set to padfPrjParams[1].

- If padfPrjParams[0] is nonzero and padfPrjParams[1] is greater than zero but less than or equal to one, the semimajor axis is set to padfPrjParams[0] and the semiminor axis is computed from the eccentricity squared value padfPrjParams[1]:

  semiminor = sqrt(1.0 - ES) * semimajor

  where

  ES = eccentricity squared

- If padfPrjParams[0] is nonzero and padfPrjParams[1] is equal to zero, the semimajor axis and semiminor axis are set to padfPrjParams[0].

- If padfPrjParams[0] equals zero and padfPrjParams[1] is greater than zero, the default Clarke 1866 is used to assign values to the semimajor axis and semiminor axis.

- If padfPrjParams[0] and padfPrjParams[1] equals zero, the semimajor axis is set to 6370997.0 and the semiminor axis is set to zero.

If a datum code is zero or greater, the semimajor and semiminor axis are defined by the datum code as found in the following table:

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code in case of failure.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromWkt | ( | char ** | ppszInput | ) |

Import from WKT string.

This method will wipe the existing SRS definition, and reassign it based on the contents of the passed WKT string. Only as much of the input string as needed to construct this SRS is consumed from the input string, and the input string pointer is then updated to point to the remaining (unused) input.

Consult also the OGC WKT Coordinate System Issues page for implementation details of WKT in OGR.

This method is the same as the C function OSRImportFromWkt().

Parameters

  ppszInput | Pointer to pointer to input. The pointer is updated to point to remaining unused input text.

Returns
  OGRERR_NONE if import succeeds, or OGRERR_CORRUPT_DATA if it fails for any reason.

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::importFromWkt | ( | const char * | pszInput | ) |

Import from WKT string.

This method will wipe the existing SRS definition, and reassign it based on the contents of the passed WKT string. Only as much of the input string as needed to construct this SRS is consumed from the input string, and the input string pointer is then updated to point to the remaining (unused) input.

Consult also the OGC WKT Coordinate System Issues page for implementation details of WKT in OGR.

Parameters

OGRErr OGRSpatialReference::morphFromESRI | ( |  | ) |

Convert in place from ESRI WKT format.

The value notes of this coordinate system are modified in various manners to adhere more closely to the WKT standard. This mostly involves translating a variety of ESRI names for projections, arguments and datums to "standard" names, as defined by Adam Gawne-Cain's reference translation of EPSG to WKT for the CT specification.

Starting with GDAL 1.9.0, missing parameters in TOWGS84, DATUM or GEOGCS nodes can be added to the WKT, comparing existing WKT parameters to GDAL's databases. Note that this optional procedure is very conservative and should not introduce false information into the WKT definition (although caution should be advised when activating it). Needs the Configuration Option GDAL_FIX_ESRI_WKT be set to one of the following values (TOWGS84 is recommended for proper datum shift calculations):

GDAL_FIX_ESRI_WKT values

| TOWGS84 |  | Adds missing TOWGS84 parameters (necessary for datum transformations), based on named datum and spheroid values.
| DATUM |  | Adds EPSG AUTHORITY nodes and sets SPHEROID name to OGR spec.
| GEOGCS |  | Adds EPSG AUTHORITY nodes and sets GEOGCS, DATUM and SPHEROID names to OGR spec. Effectively replaces GEOGCS node with the result of importFromEPSG(n), using EPSG code n corresponding to the existing GEOGCS. Does not impact PROJCS values.

This does the same as the C function OSRMorphFromESRI().

Returns
